Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

"That's a warship! A naval warship!"

Brooke stamped his feet in frustration and shouted.

"Fanny is a Navy mole, didn't anyone tell you?"

Sanji put his hands in his pockets and said with a relaxed expression.

"What? A naval spy?"

Brooke was so surprised her jaw almost dropped.

"Yeah, otherwise why do you think the navy always leaves after throwing a few shells whenever they chase us?"

Luffy scratched his head, looking speechless, while Chopper shook his body to dry off the seawater.

"By the way, Luffy's grandfather is also a Marine hero, Vice Admiral Garp."

Usopp added from the side.

"what?"

Brooke was completely stunned; he felt like he had missed out on hundreds of millions of dollars worth of information.

……

After experiencing this both funny and frustrating incident, the Straw Hat Pirates continued their voyage.

Passing through the treacherous Snake Sea Current, which resembles a swarm of dancing and playing snakes.

Finally, I saw the familiar red earth continent again.

This also means that the Straw Hat Pirates have already traveled halfway around the world, and their journey is halfway complete!

Luffy and his crew stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the Red Line in the distance, their hearts filled with emotion.

Just as they were searching for a way to enter the legendary Fishman Island, they encountered a problem.

This time, the pointer is pointing downwards.

Everyone huddled together, discussing the matter, but they still couldn't find a solution.

In the end, it was the knowledgeable Robin who revealed the truth.

"To enter the New World, the second half of the Grand Line, you have to pass through Fishman Island."

So, following the direction of the pointer, they began searching for the location of Fishman Island.

On his journey, Luffy accidentally witnesses a kidnapping gang causing trouble, attempting to capture a beautiful mermaid.

How could Sanji tolerate such a thing happening?

Without hesitation, he rushed forward, easily kicking away several kidnappers and successfully rescuing the captured mermaid, Kemi.

Camie is extremely grateful to Luffy and the others for saving her life, and is currently thanking Sanji.

At this moment, a starfish who claimed to be Kemi's master, the great designer Papagu, also arrived.

He expressed his deepest gratitude to Luffy and the others, and said he would definitely repay them properly.

To thank the Straw Hat Pirates for saving her life, Camie invited everyone to eat the world's best takoyaki.

Everyone was thrilled to hear this, after all, who can resist the temptation of delicious food?

However, when they arrived at the takoyaki stall, unsurprisingly, a small accident occurred.

The person who sells the world's most delicious takoyaki has been kidnapped by a kidnapping group.

It turns out that the kidnapping group's real target was still the mermaid Kemi.

This infuriated Sanji, who had been busy running around doing all this.

You see, being a mermaid is his dream, especially a beautiful mermaid like Miss Kemi.

Human traffickers actually dared to get involved!

In order to rescue Hachi, Luffy and his crew, led by Camie and Pappagu, arrived at the location of the so-called kidnapping group, the Flying Fish Knights.

Little did they know that the "Little Hachi" that Cammy mentioned was actually the octopus Little Hachi, a former member of the Arlong Pirates.

So he turned and left without looking back.

However, Nami was moved by Cammy and Papagu's determination to rescue their friend.

They then sent everyone back.

So, in order to rescue Hachi, Luffy and his crew stormed into the Flying Fish Knights' base.

Unexpectedly, the Flying Fish Knights launched a fierce attack on Luffy and his crew using sheer numbers.

It turns out that the Flying Fish Knights weren't a kidnapping group at all; their real target was the Straw Hat Pirates!

The Flying Fish Knights even wanted to capture the unprotected Kemi along with Papagu.

At that moment, Zoro, who had been sleeping on the ship, appeared like a ghost and instantly repelled the enemy.

Upon encountering a formidable enemy, the Straw Hat crew immediately became interested.

They were ready to enjoy a rare battle, so they switched to "Best Actor" mode.

They turned the gravity training devices on full blast and pretended to fight with all their might.

It seemed as if they were completely unable to withstand the Flying Fish Knights' continuous offensive.

Seeing this, Hachi thought Luffy and the others were really in danger, and overwhelmed with shame, he immediately burst out.

He picked up the weapon from the ground and joined the melee without hesitation.

In the midst of the chaos, Luffy accidentally stumbled into the room of the leader of the Flying Fish Knights and witnessed a major secret hidden beneath the leader's mask.

It also explains why the leader of the Flying Fish Knights hates the Straw Hat Pirates so much.

Seeing this face makes me burst out laughing.

Seeing this, the others also gathered around and burst into laughter.

Finally, with Sanji looking constipated, Duval, who had been subdued, tearfully recounted the whole story.

It turns out that Dibaru and his partners were originally working as employees in a non-state-run sex violence organization on a small island, a lucrative profession.

Based on their own strength, they could only collect protection money and dine and dash.

He could easily drive away invading pirates, and his life couldn't be more comfortable.

However, one day, things changed because of the wanted list that Sanji didn't look like him at all.

It turns out that Dibaru looks exactly like the poorly drawn portrait on that wanted list!

Therefore, he attracted the attention of the navy and bounty hunters.

To save his life, Dibaru had no choice but to wear an iron mask to hide himself.

Devil Duval is determined to find the Straw Hat Pirates who caused him to fall into such a sorry state!

Enraged by Duval's account, Sanji unleashed the legendary "Unrecognizable Kick".

He didn't like that arrest warrant either!

Unexpectedly, after finishing the job, Duval ended up becoming a very handsome man!

And just like that, after looking in the mirror, Duval immediately transformed into Sanji's biggest fanboy.

After all, he has been completely transformed and no longer needs to live a life of hiding.

After thanking Luffy and the others and promising to repay them when the opportunity arose, he left gracefully with the Flying Fish Knights.

Hachi, who was rescued, made delicious takoyaki to thank Luffy and the others for their help.

Upon learning that Luffy and his crew's next destination was Fishman Island, he informed them that they needed to have their ship coated first in order to reach Fishman Island.

And they happened to know a professional coating expert.

……

Chapter 77: Back to Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy wreaks havoc at the auction house!

Back in the Sabaody Archipelago, Fanny stood on the deck of the harbor, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him.

My heart was filled with mixed emotions.

This is where his pirate career began; everything here feels like a distant memory.

However, before he could even savor this feeling, a familiar figure came into view.

"Hey, isn't this Van Nistelrooy?"

A lazy voice came from afar. Fanny looked up and saw his old acquaintance, Grandpa Kizaru, standing not far away.

She stared straight at him, her eyes fixed on him.

Fanny's lips twitched, inwardly cursing. Why did this old man always bring bad news whenever he appeared?

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and hurried over to greet her.

"Hey Uncle, let's not fight today, okay? I'm just here for vacation, purely to relax."

Kizaru raised an eyebrow and said with a playful expression.

Although Fleet Admiral Sengoku had told him that Fanny was one of their own, Kizaru still felt that something was amiss.

However, given his easygoing nature, as long as he's not made to work overtime, everything is fine.

"Okay, as long as you stay away from Island 1."

After a pause, Kizaru asked again with a puzzled look.

"And why do you call me 'Uncle'?"

Fanny scratched his head and said nonchalantly.

"It just came out of my mouth. What? You don't like this nickname?"

"as long as you are happy."

Kizaru's lips curled slightly upwards, revealing a half-smile.

While Fanny and Kizaru were arguing, Hachi, along with Luffy and the others, arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago to search for a coating craftsman in order to coat the ship.

Xiao Ba looked nervous the whole way, constantly giving everyone instructions.
